What is Surgeons Lobby Day at the Capitol? 

This is going to be a pivotal legislative session. Following the November election and recent special elections, 21 Delegates—more than one-fifth of the House—will be new. You are our most effective resource to make a strong first impression, educate legislators about the healthcare issues, and ensure the voice of medicine stays front and center in policy decisions.

What's the schedule of events on our lobby day? 

• 7:30 am Refreshments and check in
• 8:00 am Strategy Session
• 9:00 am-11:00 am Legislative Visits

Location:

Richmond, VA 23219

How should I prepare for our Lobby Day?

The VA-ACS & MSV will provide backgrounders on key issues. Don't forget to bring your white coat to wear while lobbying and a supply of business cards to hand out to legislators and their aides.

Why should I leave behind my busy practice to come to Richmond to lobby? 

Lobby Days are your opportunity to advocate for the issues that matter most to your profession. The MSV provides a robust program with guided bill updates, briefing on key issues, how to lobby legislators, and more. Members of the General Assembly need to hear from YOU, their constituents, about how the legislation the are considering will affect the practice of medicine.
